How to enable or disable sync for SharePoint Document Library
SharePoint, the Microsoft Document Management and Storage System allows you to enable or disable synchronization for SharePoint document library. If you are not aware of the process, read the instructions given in the post.
Enable / disable synchronization for the SharePoint document library
There are two main ways to disable synchronization for the SharePoint document library:
- At the library level
- At the site level
We will see the process in detail.
The SharePoint Document Library provides a secure location for storing files where users and their colleagues can easily locate, work with and, if needed, access them from any device at any time.
For example, SharePoint service users can use a document library on a SharePoint Online site to store all files related to a specific task. They can add files or move them from one folder to another by simply performing the drag and drop operation.

Then, from the "General Settings" window that appears, click "Settings".Advanced settings& #39; link.
Now scroll down until you find 'Offline client availabilityThe section has the following description – "Allow uploading items from this document library to offline clients"
Depending on your needs, simply check the 'Yes' or 'No' circle next to the option.
2) Enable or disable synchronization for the SharePoint document library at the site level
The method described above enables / disables SharePoint synchronization in the particular library where you just changed the settings. Therefore, if your site supports multiple document libraries, you will need to repeat the above steps individually for all document libraries. However, there is a shortcut to this. Find it below!

There, locate 'Offline search and availability(It is visible under "Search& #39; section).
